Saturday's opening shot

Peak (?) wisteria on Stuyvesant Street...

Violet times: An Earth Day look at the wisteria on Stuyvesant Street

Photos are coming in (thanks to Steven for the above shot) showing that the wisteria is coming in nicely this spring outside 35 Stuyvesant St. at 10th Street. 

Neighbor Harold Appel shared the shot below and noted: "I am happy to report that the wisteria is back on Stuyvesant Street. It seems that the dramatic pruning done last year actually reinvigorated the vine."

Also, the home remains for sale here.

1st sign this spring of the wisteria on Stuyvesant Street (and that townhouse is for sale!)

We're officially on wisteria watch this spring on Stuyvesant Street.

An EVG reader who shared these two photos yesterday noted that residents on the block were worried the plant had died, "but it's BACK."

The purple paradise of flowering beauty® resides outside 35 Stuyvesant St. at 10th Street... and it inspires both Instagram users and jigsaw-puzzle makers.

And this fantastic home has been on the sales market since the fall — for the first time since 1958.

Here are details via Corcoran:

35 Stuyvesant Street is a jewel of a house that requires a complete restoration ... Five stories, not counting the English basement with 32' frontage (4 windows wide facing south) and a magical Wisteria Vine. There are 6 floors for the new owner to transform into a unique and lovely home. Please take note that an architect and skilled contractors will be necessary to restore this house to its previous splendor. ... This is a special opportunity to create a masterpiece. 

Price: $4.2 million.

Lee B. Anderson, called the godfather of the Gothic revival in America, was the long-time owner. He died in 2010, and his caretaker has been living in the space.

Curbed has a great piece on the home from last fall right here.

Anderson won a 2003 Village Preservation Award for "nurturing his wisteria and making the Village a more beautiful place."
